Excitement Building in the Shomron

Monday - August 13, 2018 Accept Nothing Less "Our demand is clear—a complete ceasefire. We will not suffice with less than this." This is what Prime Minister Netanyahu demanded at the start of his weekly cabinet meeting. The full objective is to restore quiet and calm to the residents of southern Israel and the area adjacent to the Gaza Strip. The current Egypt-brokered ceasefire between Israel and the Gaza Strip was protested by Minister Uri Ariel (Bayit Yehudi) stating that there can be no ceasefire when someone intentionally comes to kill you. Education Minister and Security Cabinet Member Naftali Bennett (Jewish Home) is calling for a new strategy to deal with Hamas and said, "We must not allow the situation to continue in which Hamas dictates the pace of life of the residents of the State of Israel." Excitement Building For the first time a construction crane was seen deep in the Shomron for building a Jewish community. The crane was brought in for new construction at the Chitzim Yeshiva in Itamar. Itamar is among the many places that the AFSI Chizuk Mission visited on its April trip. More HERE.
